Overclocking and GPU Boost are closely related. Namely, GPU Boost is a hardware implemented feature that cannot be disabled. This feature monitors important operation parameters and calculates optimum GPU clocks. However, although it may seem as an overclocking limiter, overclocking is still flexible enough. In fact, Gainward GTX 680's OC potential isn't half bad.
Shader clock is something that Nvidia abandoned with Kepler, but now we have other two clocks worth noting – Base and Boost clocks. Overclocking the GPU within Precision X overclocking tool uses two sliders" "GPU Clock Offset" that affects the Base clock and Boost clock, whereas the "Power Target" slider moves the TDP threshold, which in turn enables higher Base and Boost clocks.
By upping the GPU clock offset, users actually set a new Base clock. This also increases the Boost clock that's 53MHz higher than the Base clock.
GPU Boost is similar to Intel's Turbo Boost. If an app or game you started doesn't overburden the GPU, i.e. doesn't max out th TDP and thermals, then GPU Boost will up the clock from the Base clock to Boost clock and thus improve performance. Nvidia claims that every GTX 680 is capable of auto-overclocking to Boost clock of 1059MHz. Note however that the clock will still often exceed 1059MHz. The said 1059MHz is the GK104 GPU's average clock. This is possible because Boost clock is a guaranteed overclock, while maximum clock can even be higher. On our Gainward GTX 680, we measured a maximum clock of 1110MHz.
Higher clocks offer the combination of GPU clock offset with Power Target limitation. Nvidia looked at the most demanding games and calculated that the GTX 680's reference Boost clock has a maximum TDP of 195W (Precision X tool calls this Power Target 100%). By moving the Power Target slider, TDP threshold can be set to 225W (Power Target 132%), which is the most two 6-pin power connectors can offer. This is exactly what we did in our overclocking tests, in order to make sure that the power limit does not limit the desired clock.
Playing Crysis 2 at reference Base clock resulted in 13 different GPU clocks, starting from 1006MHz and ending with 1110MHz (1006/1019/1032/1045/1058/1071/1054/1097/1110MHz). So, overclocking Kepler GPUs won't provide stable and fixed OC clocks, since the GPU Boost feature produces a range of OC clocks.
Playing at 2560x1600, we noticed that clocks change almost every few seconds, whether it was downclocking or overclocking. Note that the sole exception was 1110MHz as we didn't see it at this resolution. After we lowered the resolution to 1920x1080 and then 1680x1050, we noticed that clocks remain unchanged longer. In fact, 1280x1024 resulted in almost constant 1097MHz. This clearly shows that GPU Boost gets quite busy when the workload is higher, since it has to intervene and keep the operation parameters within normal limits. This is why it's difficult to say what's the maximum clock, because although it can run stable some time, it doesn't mean it will remain fixed after few hours of gaming.
Our additional "overclocking" resulted in +133MHz offset for the Base clock, i.e. maximum clock of 1230MHz. In average when playing Crysis 2 at 2560x1600 clocks were at and around 1166MHz. The overclocking we're talking about was done without manual fan RPM setting. The fan isn't too loud, although it can be heard.
The maximum offset set by Nvidia is +549, so hard core overclockers will have room to play around.

DELS deliver mouthy debut
DELS debut album GOB is released on the 9th of May.
Kieren Dickins aka DELS is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that he's more than just a rapper). Applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which Jay-Z used to build a business empire, DELS makes art. Popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest it's just a debut. Already causing a stir with the tasters "Shapeshift" + "Trumpalump", everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.
Dickins recorded "GOB" with just three producers, all of whom he has collaborated with for a significant amount of time and all of whom are more interested in creating something with him than in giving him a beat to rhyme on. Micachu is perhaps best known for her "indie" work with her band The Shapes but her interest in grime and hip hop is as well documented in a series of mixtapes and videos on YouTube. Together she and DELS create the bad-trip anthem "Melting Patterns" and "Violina," which catches all the disorientation and anger of a relationship break-up. Longtime mentor and friend Joe Goddard of Hot Chip is represented by both "Trumpalump" (featuring his own beautifully melancholy/hopeful chorus) and Shapeshift, plus a brand new track, "Capsize," which dissects something of the current political situation in the company of Roots Manuva (the only guest MC on the record) – a kind of "Ghost Town" for a new generation.
The bulk of the album, though, comes from Kwes. Already known for his singles on Young Turks plus production work for the likes of the Invisible and the XX, in Kwes DELS found his perfect foil. In a suite of tracks ranging from "Hydronenburg," through the truly remarkable "Moonshining," and on into the insanely ambitious "Eating Clouds" (an earlier version of which was first heard on Ninja Tune's XX compilation last year), DELS and Kwes lay out the sheer, revolutionary extent of their ambition early. But it's in the last three tracks of the record, "DLR," "Droogs" and "GOB" that the record reaches its fruition. A track about a homeless woman ("DLR," featuring a beautiful vocal contribution from sometime bandmate Elan Tamara) and a true story of rape and child abuse told in reverse (the Nadsat-titled "Droogs"), this could be a downbeat end to a record if it wasn't for the brilliance with which the subjects are treated, both musically and vocally. And if it wasn't for the last track, "GOB." "GOB" shows Dickins, angry, battered, but ultimately hopeful, rising up through all the shit of the world determined to triumph, succumbing neither to the nonsense around him or his own quest for perfection, gradually lifted aloft on a monster of a piece of music (it would be doing it a misservice to call it a 'beat') from Kwes.
It's a superb end to what is sure to be a breakthrough record for DELS, one which he can take a huge amount of credit for, having been intimately involved in every aspect of its creation, from artwork and videos, right down to the fonts. Despite the title of his record, DELS is no loud mouth. He talks quietly, in measured tones, but when he talks we listen...

Everyday the world wide web(WWW) keeps getting more advanced, people thinking of new ways to produce top quality products for Gamers/Programers Clients and More.
In this tutorial, i will/try to explain the basics behind Php.
This tutorial will cover:
- Introducing Php
- What you will Need
- Getting Started
- Your first script
- Variables
- Operators
Introducing Php
Php is a server side scripting language, that Coders use to execute .php scripts to create websites.
Php can create a wide veriety of things like, Textbased/2D game engines, social Networks like Facebook,Twitter and Myspace, Filesharing websites like rapidshare, Forums like Dreamincode or bethesda forums.
Some people can use php to create there own encryption algorithms like the md5 hash.
You DO Need a server to execute the php scripts though.
Php Stands for Php:Hypertext[/b] P[/b]reProcessor.
What you will Need
To execute your php scripts, you will need a server to execute them on, i suggest (if you dont have a server alreadey) you use wamp server.
Wamp server Is a free,easy to use server, i use it because its smaller than downloading all the Php/Apache/Mysql
programs, and it come configured, so no fidleing around
You might also want to use an WYSIWYG editor - i use zend studio, but you can use witch ever one you wish.
Getting Started
If you have completed the What you will Need Step, then run the installer(s), and configure as you please.
Open your WYSIWYG editor and click "Save As" and save it as - "myfirstscript.php" Remember the ".php" bit, because, you have to have it or the editor will not save it as a php script.
Ok, We're done here, lets move on to the exciting stuff shall we.
My First Script
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
What is that you say, well it's one of the simplest scripts written in php.
Lets go through the above script.
- <?php - This tells the compiler that the script is belongs to the Php languge.
- echo "Hello World!"; - This will display Hello world! onto your screen.
- ?> - This tells the server to end the php script
Was that simple, i hope it was easy to understand.
So, You have just learnt ho to make your own php script.
Easy, Bah, nothing to it once you get the hang of it =]
Do you remeber algebra from school, and thinking "Were in life would i use that".
Well in php is were. Some websites revolve around equations and algorithms.
well php uses things called variables, witch scripts store things in.
variables are defined by the dollar sign "$".
Say for example,
<?php $x = 1; ?>
The code above makes a new variable called "i" witch we had just stored the number 1 to.
You can store mostley everything you want in variabls, from numbers,strings(abc),arrays,sql queries and functions.
So lets try this one aye
<?php $string = "My name is"; $name = "Aaron"; $final = $string . " " . $name; echo $final; ?>
The above code will output "My name is Aaron".
This uses a function known as concatenation
This will join the $string variable with the $name variable.
what You've learnt
I hope you have been listening =] because you will eaither come across variables sooner or later.
Operators are signs that php use to determine things.
For example, = means equal to
- = - Equal To
- ! - Is Not
- < - Is lower than
- > - Is higher than
- || - Or
- && - and
- != - Is Not equal to
- <= is lowerthan or equal to
- >= - Is
What you have learned
You should have learnt, most of the php operators, that evolve around php
In the next tutorial you will learn:
- Functions
- Switch functons
- If - Statement
- If - Else - statement
- If - elseif - else
- While Loops
thanks for listerning, i hope you have learnt some new things that you might not or did not know.
Thanks Aaron1178

These are the dishes we made over the weekend, but I'm sure they'll taste just as good any day of the week. 🙂
First up, Saturday night, was this very simple pumpkin soup recipe, adapted from Epicurious. We used fresh pumpkin instead of canned, fresh ginger instead of powdered, and a small, almost whole piece of star anise. The rye bread, pictured, was also freshly homemade.
- 2 15-ounce cans pure pumpkin (we used a small pumpkin, about 3 pounds)
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder*
- 4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
Since we used fresh pumpkin, there were these added steps:
Cut skin off outside of pumpkin and discard. Cut pumpkin into approx. 1-1/2 inch chunks, making sure to cut away any of the stringy bits and seeds. Place pumpkin in boiling water and boil, covered, for about 3 minutes, until pumpkin is just about cooked through. You don't want the pumpkin too soft since it will cook a little more in with the rest of the ingredients in the soup. Puree the cooked pumpkin chunks with just enough water to make it easier for the pumpkin to move around the food processor or blender. Puree until it looks like baby food—small pieces are okay.
Bring first 4 ingredients to simmer in large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often. Whisk in syrup, 2 tablespoons butter, and five-spice powder. Simmer soup 10 minutes, whisking often. Season with salt and pepper. (Soup can be made 1 day ahead. Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Bring to simmer before serving.) Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Divide soup among 6 bowls. Sprinkle soup with mushrooms, dividing equally; serve.
* A blend of ground anise, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and ginger available in the spice section of most supermarkets. We used fresh ginger instead of ground; since we were making our own spice blend. We chopped the ginger finely and then sauteed it with the mushrooms and put into the soup at the end.
Next, I made some pita, recipe slightly adapted from smitten kitchen. I made only 1/2 the recipe and used active dry yeast that I dissolved in the water for about five minutes before adding to the dough instead of the instant yeast.We like to eat pita, warm, with (homemade) hummus and possibly some restaurant-made felafel.
Dinner, Sunday night, polenta and mackerel and asparagus. We simply steamed the asparagus. Broiled the mackerel with this marinade and sauteed onions and mushrooms and added them to the polenta. We are still working on just exactly how to cook polenta correctly so that it comes out the the right consistency, so I'll get back to you on that. Anyone have any polenta-cooking tips?
What did you cook/eat over the weekend? I'd love to hear about it in the comments, or you can share with me on my Facebook page!

Wrong target? District attorney target of Nigerian check scam
Worcester County District Attorney received phony check
Worcester County's top law enforcement official was the target of a recent scam, the Telegram reported.
Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said he was in his office and received a FedEx package listing his name and the exact address of his office.
Inside the priority overnight stamped package was what appeared to be a legitimate check from Aetna Life Insurance Co. for $2,150.
View a slideshow of last year's top scams
Early wondered if his father, former U.S. Rep. Joseph D. Early who died in November, had a life insurance policy through the company.
Early called the company and confirmed the check was a fake and then asked his State Police investigators to follow up.
"There is some irony in it," Early said about receiving the fake check. "Hopefully, we are protecting someone else from getting scammed."
State police investigators called Aetna and learned that the check is part of a scam out of Nigeria.
They learned the company has been tracking about $1 million worth of these types of phony checks throughout the United States.
"It looks very legit," state Police Capt. Francis D. Leahy, head of Early's state police detectives, said about the check.
Once someone cashes the check, the scammers gain access to the person's bank account and drain it, police said.

learning to let go
The house is a mess right now. Toys are littered across every room along with jewelry boxes, mail, dirty dishes stacked in the sink and baskets of laundry waited to be folded.
It's not a good feeling, especially when you are at home as much as I am.
When Jeremiah & I were first married we lived in this tiny, cute old house with white walls & a white kitchen, wood floors and two rooms along with a super small bathroom. We loved it. Since it was just the two of us and we didn't have much stuff the house was always spotless. I made sure that everything was put away each time we left and when we came home, the house smelled perfect.
Now in this house where we have Israel, more stuff, the jewelry business and a whole lot less time, I've had to learn to let some things go. Many days we leave the house not picked up because if we stayed to clean every time I doubt we could ever leave.
It bothers me. I feel unsuccessful and frustrated and like the mess of the house creeps into my thinking a bit and makes me feel even mentally messy.
That's not to say the house is never clean, it's clean at least once a day but that doesn't last long. I think what I've learned is that I need to find a way to be content with the way things are. Eventually we would like to have another child so it's not going to get easier any time soon!

Your home is beautiful even when it's messy, but you're right, kids are a lesson in letting go and learning what's really important. That said, it still freaks me out when my house gets messy. One thing that helps me is to identify the one are in my home that I can keep clean all the time. For me, it's our bedroom. Even if the rest of the house is a disaster (mostly toys, forts, homework, art supplies...) having my bed made and the room organized gives me a sense of order among the chaos.ReplyDelete
ah i totally empathise with you, it freaks me out a little too much! My head gets jumbled and i can't think straight or more importantly make art - friends always say how nice the house is so it can't be that bad? Like you, I need to learn to chill out and go play lego with Charlie instead ;)ReplyDelete
I know exactly how you feel. Totally get the mentally cluttered feeling. It's hard to create when you're surrounded by mess too. The best thing I ever did a month back was hire a cleaner. We aren't a wealthy family in any way, but I have managed to budget for 2-3 hours a week (fortunately our place is small and easy to clean). I justify it by saying there's now more time for me to work so I can sell more prints to pay for the cleaner! It has made such a massive difference to our life and my own attitude towards the house - and also encourages me to at least keep the place tidy all week until the cleaner next comes.

I too am having a difficult time dealing with the mess that a busy life and a two year old brings. My beautiful loft is now covered in trains. They're everywhere! I swear they're like gremlins and keep on multiplying. I also get a whiff of milk every time we walk in from outdoors. I secretly think my son is dumping milk in places that I don't know about just to mess with me.ReplyDelete
I know exactly what you mean. I have three kids... so it just gets worst.ReplyDelete
When you work from home it´s slightly frustrating to start you work day by cleaning... I hate that.
I feel it difficult to avoid the guilt. When I take time to clean the house I feel guilty for not playing with me child. When I take time to play with my child, I look at the mess and feel guilty for not cleaning the house.ReplyDelete
I have twin one year olds and a 2 yr old. My husband works two jobs and so it's just me and the kids a lot. God knows I have had to let things go or I would never play with my kids. I always say, if you want to come see me, the door is open. If you want to see the house, make an appointment! :) I am a clean freak by nature so this has been hard but I, too, am learning to let go. Glad I'm not the only one out there!ReplyDelete
I struggle with the same thing everyday! I was notorious for having a spotless home before kids; now with a 3 year old and a 7 month old, life has changed drastically! I have unfolded laundry that just keeps piling up, and I could list a whole slew of things that I need to do. However, i've had to let it go because i just don't have the time and as much as I think I am superhuman, I really am not. You're not alone:-)ReplyDelete
I came here from Flickr. I love the photo. I lived like this for many years, now my first three children are twenty and over and have just moved out. I have a ten year old still at home. The house is suddenly, magically so much more tranquil tidy. But I miss them... Goes to show, one never wins:) Saying that, I do expect to have lots more time in the studio plus lots more clarity in my head.Maybe it will be a win-win in the end:)ReplyDelete
I love seeing family stuff amongst lovely furniture, best photo ever! I too am surrounded by trains and train track, I live on Sodor, didn't you know?ReplyDelete
And it still looks absolutely perfect at yours, even if it's messy! (And, there you go, the most stupid question ever, but after I have been looking for such ones for like ever: where are those laundry baskets from?)ReplyDelete
ohh I understand you so well! Mom of a 4 years old + wife of a collector :) who dreams of some tidiness at home in order to hear any/some own thoughts.ReplyDelete
Aww! Learning to let go can be difficult but once you master it - it'll bring a lot of peace to you.ReplyDelete
Adjusting is always tough but possible. That photo is awesome, by the way.
Cathy Trails
I understand your dilemma too! I have 3 kids and a husband who are all messy and it does my head in. I can keep my side of the bedroom neat and tidy and that is my little santuary - until I look to my husband's side of the room!ReplyDelete
I am getting used to the idea that my home can't look like the beautiful homes I see in magazines and on blogs and realise that the photos are a snap shot taken for a magazine/blog so they're going to tidy and organised. My home is mostly tidy but lived in, the way it should be for a family of 5. xx
I've got two messy children and a very small home, that means I tidy up several times a day and it still doesn't look right;) I think it just has to be like that or maybe the solution is not to buy any toys for the little ones?;) Anyway it's too late for me;)ReplyDelete
I can completely relate to what you are saying, and we don't even have kids (or pets)! The description of your previous house reminds me a lot of ours. That being said, most of the time our house does not look spotless. My partner is a teacher and not only does he collect approx. 150 student papers several times a month, but also magazines, newspapers and other teaching materials. You can probably picture the paper load we're surrounded by each day - it drives me crazy! :) Also, our levels of tolerance for messiness are very different, and I feel like I'm cleaning all.the.time! It's like Sisyphus work - in a small house the tiniest mess is just so much more noticeable, especially, when certain items (paper) don't have a designated place to go to. And like you, the physical mess always has an impact on how I feel emotionally. I've come up with quick "clean as you go" solutions (e.g. putting things away immediately, quickly wiping down the bathroom sink, after both of us are done in the morning, etc.) - it seems to help a little. P.S. I love your blog so much and always feel like I'm in a cozy, clean space, whenever I visit!ReplyDelete
We're in the same boat. We've got one little almost three-year-old dude, and we both work from home. I tripped on a toy car last night and almost started crying. Every inch of our house was a disaster. And we're talking about more kids lately too!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 22, 2012
Are you kidding me, you have FRESH FLOWERS in your living room!! On a more serious note, I hear your pain. I have a toddler son, and sometimes the house is cleaner if I don´t clean/tidy anything and instead grab the little one and get out of the place as soon as I can!ReplyDelete
More kids def ='s more mess. And it's not like it doubles it multiplies -ha. Seriously, though, this is my daily battle. And you would think with 4 kids, I would have waved the flag and surrenderd but I haven't. I still have such a hard time letting go and living in a bit of mess because, like you, it just makes for major mental clutter. I'm hoping that somehow, someway, this summer, I can learn to let go a bit because I am realizing that I'm only stressing myself (and my kids) out even more. Maybe it is better to do one big pile of dishes at the end of the day rather than 3 times a day? I don't know but I might try that experiment. Good luck and just so you know... you are doing a great job juggling all that you do! xo . trinaReplyDelete

Hi every one ,
I have 2 tanks with discus and sterbies corys as tank mates , the question i like to ask is '
. Is endlers or guppies a good tank mates for discus?
. Is it true that live bearers carry parasites that is ok for them but not good for discus ?
The idea is that the fries will be the live food for discus and their population will be controlled that way.
Has any body has had any practical experience with these fish and discus and which one have you have been happier with ?
Any comment would be appreciated .

P2l asks:
My manager has recently really been pushing to use velocity as a target and measure of productivity. We are currently working at an average velocity of 50 story points. My manager wants us to increase it by 40 percent to 70 story points (with no increase in team members). If we don't achieve this increase he wants us to deliver a full break down explaining why.
The whole idea of measuring team performance by velocity and using it as a target seems wrong to me, but I am finding it difficult to explain why. Any help? Why isn't this the right way to measure and incentivize productivity?
See the full, original question here.
Inflation can undermine velocity
psr answers (127 votes):
Well, it's perfectly simple to increase velocity by 40 percent—just add 40 percent more points to all your estimates and do the same amount of work.
Given that this is so, it should be apparent why using velocity as a target is wrong; it just encourages inflated estimates.
A less glib answer is that your estimate already assumes you are going as fast as you can while doing everything correctly. The only way to really increase productivity by 40 percent is either to work overtime or to not do everything correctly. Both of these speed things up in the short term, but slow things down in the long term. And the long term in this case isn't very long, a month at the outside. The optimal long term strategy is to never go faster than your sustainable pace.
Peopleware is an often cited classic that talks eloquently about the issues of trying to force programmers into higher productivity. But in general it won't be easy to change the mind of a manager that is going down the path that yours is. Your project may well be in trouble—this is certainly a red flag.
Related: "Does Scrum turn active developers into passive developers?"
Play politics
CodeGnome answers (15 votes):
TL;DR: Velocity is very useful for estimating schedules or generating planning values, and can also be a meaningful detective control for assessing process bottlenecks or changes in team capacity. It is not, however, a valid measure of productivity.
When velocity is confused with management targets
"Velocity" is a range that expresses a team's average capacity over some historical period. It is a statistical analysis of past performance, which can then be used to project probabilistic estimates of future workload capacity or cycle times. This is in stark contrast to a "scheduling target," which is a managerial objective that sets a timeline or goal for planning purposes.
Experienced agile project managers know that the proper use of velocity is to determine whether a team has the sustainable capacity to meeting management-defined scheduling targets. Sometimes the answer is yes, and everyone is happy. Sometimes the answer is no, at which point the iron triangle forces business decisions about scope, cost, time, and quality.
Evaluate your political options
We have an average velocity of 50 story points...I have been asked to increase it by 40 percent to 70 story points (with no increase in team members).
Assuming that your estimation practices are sound and that your velocity is reasonably stable, your manager will get no joy from adjusting the estimate scale or setting management targets not based on historical performance. As you correctly point out, this is fundamentally a capacity problem.
The capacity limit may be related to the number of people on your team, or it may be a limitation of your organizational processes. Of course, adding more people doesn't always add actual project capacity either; see Brooks' Law for more on this common misconception.
The problem you face is political. From the tone of your post, it sounds like your manager wants to see an increase in productivity without making any actual changes to the team's underlying capacity. The solutions are therefore also political, and largely educational in nature.
If you are a Scrum shop, ask your Scrum Master to address this issue through the appropriate framework channels. Backlog Grooming and Sprint Retrospectives are often the ideal inspect-and-adapt opportunities for this particular issue.
If you're not a Scrum shop, you must decide what the proper way to address your concerns are within your organization. If you're on good terms with your manager, you might even loan him a copy of Agile Estimating and Planning for the two of you to discuss over lunch.
If all else fails, prepare for a death march by brushing up your resume and doing your professional best until the project implodes. 68 percent of IT projects fail; unless management targets are solidly grounded in organizational capacity, yours will probably be one of them.
Look elsewhere to improve performance
Duncan Bayne answers (5 votes):
My experience is that it has been very, very hard to increase the actual velocity of a team, given that neither the team, the problem domain, or the technology stack change.
Where I have been able to achieve increases, it's been a matter of:
- Cleaning up technical debt by ensuring that everything is running the right (not necessarily latest!) version, that the code is well-factored, and that there is no redundancy in the system (duplicated code, unused code, etc).
- Improving practices by pairing where possible (yes, I've found that increases velocity), taking the time to refactor aggressively (ditto!), and being ruthless about scope and focus.
- Finding and/or buying the best tools for the job (e.g. ReSharper for .NET is worth its weight in gold, Airbrake and Splunk for Ruby development, etc).
I agree with others here who say that your manager asking for an arbitrary increase in velocity is a red flag. I would be looking for another job as a high priority.

The upcoming exhibition, Fellowship & Sacrifice, will examine the impact of the First World War on Hampstead – but just how much fellowship and sacrifice was involved?
Despite an initial influx of army recruits, numbers began to dwindle by 1915 and the Government introduced the National Registration Act of July 1915, where all men aged 15-65 had to register their details. The Military Service Act of 1916 followed, meaning that all men aged 18-41 were compelled to enlist. The familiar poster depicting Field Marshal Kitchener stating, 'Your country needs you', springs to mind, but London Transport commissioned their own series of posters called London Memories, which, depicting idealised scenes of the city, were designed to promote patriotism and the urge to enlist. Hampstead Heath, complete with sheep, trees and green expanses, was pictured in one poster (which will be on display in the exhibition) – but the Heath would not have seemed so tranquil during war time.
Many local men joined battalions like the 'Hampstead Heavies' (138th Heavy Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery) who trained on Hampstead Heath along with many others. Anti-aircraft guns were stationed at Kenwood, to counter the aerial bombardment the German army began in 1915, killing many civilians. Although the cost of the war was high for civilians – with many women also risking their lives daily in munitions factories across the land – it was much higher for serving soldiers. Throughout the war, hundreds of thousands sacrificed their lives for their country. Those fortunate enough to survive their injuries may have recuperated in one of Hampstead's military auxiliary hospitals, each run by a handful of trained medical staff and supported by Volunteer Aid Detachments. These VADs had been founded in 1909 by the War Office, Red Cross and the Order of St John to provide support to the Territorial Army medical service and many supported their local communities through volunteering at the outbreak of war. Local fundraising efforts helped to support these hospitals as well, and in an article from the British Journal of Nursing published in 1915, Sister Willes of Mount Vernon Hospital expressed gratitude to the local community for their help:
'... many of the residents of Hampstead have sent useful gifts... but she would be glad of some bed-tables on castors,
made to slide over the beds, and some flower-pots for the plants which decorate the wards.'
In Great Britain, life was changed irrevocably as the war catalysed social, political and military change. Despite, or because of, its horrific reality, communities came together and sacrificed their time, their money and their lives – invaluable contributions that Fellowship & Sacrifice seeks to touch on and commemorate.
Fellowship & Sacrifice: Hampstead and the First World War runs from Friday 18th July until Sunday 14th December.

How to get the best fit
Generally a man's glove size corresponds to his body size (Medium = Medium Gloves), if this is the first time you've bought gloves, it is wise to measure your hand with a cloth tape-measure.
- 1. Measure the length in centimeters around your dominant hand (right if you are right handed) at its broadest point, excluding thumb.
- 2. Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the heel of the hand.
- 3. Use the largest of these two measurements, usually the circumference, to suggest the correct size glove for you. This size should apply to fitted open and full fingered gloves

In Still Missing, the debut novel by Chevy Stevens, Realtor Annie O'Sullivan had only a few things on her mind the afternoon she finished her latest open house. She was late to meet her boyfriend, she was still reeling from a fight with her mother and she really wanted to sell a house. Annie was thrilled when a last minute, prospective buyer pulls up asking to see the house and introduced himself as David.
Hope for a house buyer turns to horror when, after climbing the home's stairs, David forces a knife in Annie's back. He coerces her into his van and into a nightmare of epic proportions. Before driving away from the house he drugs her and then takes her to a remote wilderness cabin intending on holding her captive for the rest of her life. Annie's kidnapper, who she refers to as "The Freak" has a twisted scheme to make her the perfect submissive wife – or else. Eventually, Annie reaches her breaking point with her captor and the outcome is deadly.
Told in alternating chapters between past and present, Still Missing is a suspenseful journey that holds unbelievable twists and turns culminating at its shocking end. Chevy Stevens is definitely an author to watch – her second novel will be released this July.

Stitching is something that I don't really feel like I have the perfect answer. I've tried various methods, all being somewhat okay, but I haven't yet found that magic look. But I thought I'd go ahead and share one of my basic methods since it's easy and you never know, it might be just what you're looking for.
First I make the holes. You can make them as even as you'd like, but with this method I prefer it to be kind of messy and haphazard. I'm using a basic round brush at 20 px and I just made a bunch of random dots.
There are two methods I use to make the string. First I'll show you using the line tool.
Make a new layer and using the line tool I just make small lines connecting the holes together. Here I'm using a line with a weight of 8px.
To finish up I usually just add a slight drop shadow, although you can also play around with a bevel and texture if you want it to look more realistic.
For the second method I just freehand it using the brush. This make for an even more haphazard look, which I find that I quite like. I use the same round brush as with the holes, but with a small diameter. And then just play connect the dots. I've added a small drop shadow to this layer as well.

I'm into the whole action hero counter-terrorism deal. I read a lot of Tom Clancy (Rainbow Six) when I was younger. I like to play special forces oriented shooters when I'm not playing Warcraft. I check out 24 every so often when it's showing on TV. Jack Bauer is one of my favourite fictional characters. Hell, if I could have the guy as my Guild leader, I'd be all over it. I mean sure he's a little intimidating, but if you can look beyond his torturing and his willingness to kill, he seems like a nice guy that gets things done.
He'd roll a Warrior, I bet.
There's a lot of important lessons you can find from his quotes throughout the years and I feel that raiders would benefit from it. Potential new raiders would also benefit from the wisdom of Jack Bauer. So what is he trying to tell you? What is he trying to say? I will do my utmost to translate his words into something you can understand and interpret.
[to Audrey, who was held by the Chinese for a few months]
Jack Bauer: I know what it's like to feel like it's never going to end.
Welcome to raiding. It's a huge time investment. You almost never know when it's going to end. After a while, you're going to wish that it will end especially on marathon nights when Guild leaders are in their "just one more attempt" mood. There will be nights where you will wipe repeatedly for a long time and it really is going to feel like it's never going to end.
But hey, Jack Bauer was in a Chinese prison for 20 months. You've only had to wipe on Kael for 6 hours. Suck it up and move on, soldier.
[from Season 5 preview]
Jack Bauer: If you don't tell me what I want to know, then it'll just be a question of how much you want it to hurt.
At the top of my blog, there is a banner with five glowing words that encompass the overall principle that I hold dear not just in Warcraft but in life: Power Through Knowledge and Reason. Only with knowledge can one understand power. But only with reason can that power be used wisely. There are some things that players must know when raiding. There are gimmicks, traps, toys, and other random garbage being thrown our way. We have to know what they are. If we don't know it, then we can't prepare ourselves for it. If we don't have a clear understanding of what we need to know, then it will hurt us big time.
Jack Bauer knows just about everything. If there's something Jack Bauer doesn't know, he'll torture someone until he finds out. You just have to get off the couch and do a bit of reading and watch some videos.
Nina Myers: You're lying.
Jack Bauer: Yes I am. But you're still going to have to trust me.
Trust is a hard thing to do in a raid. No one likes to trust their fate on the ability of other players. If you're like me, you're a control freak and you want to be the only factor that affects your own fate. We don't have that luxury in raids. I don't deliver my promises all the time, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't trust my ability as a healer. Could you imagine what raiding would be like if no one trusted each other? Tanks would constantly break CC targets because they didn't trust hunters to control them. Priests would bust fears on nearby mobs. Mages would blow ice block and blink cooldowns because they wouldn't trust healers to keep them up. Nothing would get done! Sometimes you have to place your e-life in the hands of others to get what you want: phat lewt.
Of course, Jack Bauer doesn't trust anybody. He doesn't trust his friends, coworkers or his own government. Unfortunately, none of us are skilled as Jack Bauer when it comes to getting things done.
Jack Bauer: That's the problem with people like you, George. You want results, but you never want to get your hands dirty. I'd start rolling up your sleeves.
Raiding has some seriously enticing rewards especially to those that want to be the best. But you can't just waltz in there and expect to get things handed to you. You have get down there and do the work on your own. Skill and talent or hard work and effort? I'd rather take the latter, personally. You can't expect to stand there and spam one button to do the job, unless you're a Resto Shaman. Going AFK isn't going to cut it either. Raiding means that you have to seriously raid and work hard. Often times, it isn't the most glorious of roles but someone has to do it.
From this, we learn that Jack Bauer is like most people. He rolls his sleeves up. Except when he rolls his sleeves up, it's because he doesn't want to get blood on his shirt.
Jack Bauer: I like working with you, Chase; you're a nice kid. But don't you ever come into my office and talk to me like that again, do you understand me?
There's a certain kind of unspoken rule that needs to be followed when raiding. You should never openly question your raid leader. If he asks for help or suggestions, that's okay. But never, ever override or tell others to do something else that the raid leader has already committed the raiders to do. That is a big giant no-no. You don't talk to him in a condescending or disrespectful manner either. Because at the end of the day, he's still your superior. If you want to continue raiding with the Guild you're in, you better be able to follow those rules or else you won't be in that Guild much longer.
Jack Bauer doesn't take crap from anybody.

One of my most-anticipated TV series of 2013 isn't on network television, cable, or premium cable. It's on Netflix. The streaming service is moving into the original television business, and it might have two hits on its hands with House of Cards and the fourth season of Arrested Development. Four new trailers have been released for the former, and if you couldn't tell by the first trailer, the show looks downright nasty and loads of fun. The new trailers bring us some crackling lines such as "The most you'll ever make of yourself is blowing men like me," and "Twitter twat." Who can resist dialogue like that?
Click here to see the trailers [via CinemaBlend]. We'll update this article with embeds as soon as they're available. The series stars Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Michael Kelly, Sakina Jaffrey, Kristen Connolly, Sebastian Arcelus, Boris McGiver, Constance Zimmer, Jayne Atkinson, Michel Gill, and Reg E. Cathey. All 13 episodes of House of Cards premiere on February 1st.

Middleton, Mass. — (October 2013) — Sour beers have been a part of life in Belgium for centuries, but in 2013, sour beers are hotter than ever thanks to their delicious sour/tart flavor. Global Beer Network, the exclusive U.S. importer for more than 60 Belgian beer labels has launched Silly Sour Ale, a new beer blended with 87 percent sour ale and 13 percent fresh saison. The result is a delicate malt with a striking green apple sourness followed by a creamy sour finish.
"Silly Sour captures the best of the Belgium's old and new beer worlds, and the taste is spectacular," said Steve Villani, president of Global Beer Network. "We say that there is power in sour, and Silly Sour provides a great, approachable sour beer that is a first of its kind."
With just 5.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), Silly Sour has an acidic, yet warm tone that inspires the drinker to taste more and experience all the flavors.
Silly Sour Ale is brewed in Wallonia, a region of southern Belgium known as the birthplace of the Saison beer style. The original style of saison (meaning season) is a blend of two or three beers, with one of them being a slightly sour aged beer.
Historically, saison was a Belgian beer brewed on farms in the winter and consumed during the summer by farm workers. Each farm had its own brew style which was intended to provide workers with hydration due to the lack of potable water. The ale had to be strong enough to prevent spoilage, but not too strong to slow the farm work. Silly Sour takes this inspiration to provide beer lovers with an entirely new level of fresh sour beer flavor in a chestnut-colored ale.
Silly Sour is the latest from Brasserie de Silly (Brasserie is the French word for brewery). The brewery is located in Silly, a very small farmer's village that got its name from the little stream, the Sille, flowing through the center of the village.
"Brewing sour beers is very difficult and unpredictable," added Villani. "With Silly Sour, Brasserie de Silly defines modern sour beer brewing and does it perfectly. More than ever, we see that beer drinkers want something fresh and flavorfully unique. Silly Sour does all that."
The suggested retail price for new Silly Sour Ale is $11.99 for a four-pack of 11.2 oz. bottles or $9.99 for a 750 ML bottle. Silly Sour is available at craft beer retailers across the country.
About Global Beer
Based in Middleton, Mass., Global Beer is the exclusive U.S. importer for nine award-winning Belgian breweries and one Czech brewery. Global Beer imports nearly 60 Belgian beer labels, including Gulden Draak, Wittekerke and Piraat.

This June 10, 2016 by Chloi Rad on the IGN website, talks about efforts being made to raise awareness of mental health issues to gamers. One effort includes working on providing an "AFK Room" (for the non-gamers AFK means "Away From Keyboard" and is often used by gamers when they need to step away from their console or computer briefly or to explain a lack of response to someone who didn't know they wandered away from their computer or console) In the case of the AFK Rooms, the article indicates that they are meant to be a quiet place staffed by clinicians where attendees at some of the gaming conferences can step away from the noise and chaos they are experiencing. These rooms have been known to help people who were suicidal, as well as those who are having anxiety issues. Take This wants to remind gamers that they are not exempt from ever being in need of mental health support, and want to decrease the stigma among gamers towards those who do need support.
I think I would sum this up as simply saying it is an example of gamers helping gamers since the AFK rooms were created by a well-known game company.

The Greece-based owner of the Rena cargo ship has been fined $300,000 after pleading guilty to a charge under the Resource Management Act.
The conviction comes more than a year after the ship grounded on Astrolabe Reef, causing New Zealand's worst environmental disaster.
Daina Shipping Company was charged under sections 338 (1B) and 15(B) of the Resource Management Act 1991, which relates to the discharge of harmful substances from ships in the coastal marine area.
The company appeared in Tauranga District Court today where it was fined $300,000.
The charge carried a maximum fine of $600,000 and $10,000 for every day the offending continues.
Daina Shipping Company, as the registered owner of Rena, has overall responsibility for the operation of the ship.
The Rena was carrying a variety of materials defined under the Resource Management (Marine Pollution) Regulations 1998 as harmful substances or contaminants.
They included heavy fuel oil and other oils, and 32 containers of dangerous goods including 40 tonnes of hydrogen peroxide, 23 tonnes of alkylsulphonic acid, 500 tonnes of ferro-silicon, 5.4 tonnes of trichloroisocyanuric acid, and 24 tonnes of potassium nitrate.
Other substances carried on board defined as harmful include bulk wine and operational waste. Items aboard classified as contaminants included animal pelts, dairy products, fabrics, cement and machinery parts.
A total of 121 containers of perishable foodstuffs were also on the Rena.
Captain Mauro Balomaga and navigation officer Leonil Relon were arrested shortly after the Rena accident. In February they pleaded guilty to 11 charges laid over the grounding.
The pair were sentenced in May to seven months' jail but served half the time and returned to the Philippines last month.
Maritime New Zealand director Keith Manch welcomed the guilty plea today.
"The completion of this prosecution marks another step in the response to the grounding of the Rena. There remains a lot of work to be done in the recovery process and MNZ continues to oversee the wreck removal process," he said in a statement.
Resolve Fire and Salvage continued to work on the removal of the Rena, while Braemar Howells/Unimar continued to collect debris from the seabed and beaches in the area, Mr Manch said.
Earlier this month an independent review of the response by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) was announced.
It is expected the independent review will be completed in the first quarter of 2013. A separate investigation will be held by the Transport Accident Investigation Commission.
Daina Shipping representative Konstantinos Zacharatos, speaking from Athens, again apologised on behalf of the company to the Bay of Plenty community and people of New Zealand.
"This occurred as a result of human errors. I apologise for the actions of the crew, the accident and any damage caused.
"This is an accident no one wanted to happen but it did and consequently we take our responsibilities very seriously. Right from the start, Daina Shipping Company has used all resources available to it to address and limit any damage caused," he said in a statement.
"Together with the thousands of volunteers who assisted during the early days of this unfortunate event, we have managed to keep impacts contained to the absolute minimum, when you take into account what was at stake back then."

There are a number of different topics that could fall under the heading of weird building practices; particularly certain building practices that have started to come into play in the United States, but first I have something strange to relate about a certain tower complex in Minneapolis.
It is called "River Towers Condominiums" and it is situated in the North of the heart of downtown Minneapolis. It has some curious qualities to it. Let's look at them.
Oddity 1. You can barely see it from this muddy pieced-together perspective of Google, but in the center of the blue circle I've made is a short black vertical line. This is the profile of a "2001 Spade Odyssey"-like monolith with a cheesy clock face on it. These towers happen to have been renovated in the 1970's to resemble the condos they are today. But it's not clear when the monolith made an appearance. What is with brother towers and the monolith being together? The World Trade Center in New York had its Millenium Hotel designed after the "2001" monolith. So these mini towers (one is only a dozen stories or so) have theirs. Why?
Oddity 2. I have used a yellow circle to indicate where there is a lone office in this building, apparently used as commercial space, in which a large (ugly, gaudy) painting of a firefighter holding a child or doll faces into the courtyard. It is not visible from street level; only by the mostly wealthy residents in the courtyard. It also says, as if the point were not driven home enough, in large letters something like "Never Forget". Why does this tiny office have a single painting advertising 9/11 and almost nothing else?
Oddity 3. I have used a red circle to indicate something only Google seems to identify in this location. Despite the fact that the towers do not have a heliport or any other apparent means of landing anywhere near the towers, Google insists that the longer tower is the location of a little airport called "Flying Cloud." The trouble is Flying Cloud Airport is really located in Eden Prairie, one of the notoriously spooky suburbs of the Twin Cities, and handles corporate jets and private airliners. Why does Google say Flying Cloud Airport is located inside a tower? Is this a joke?
Oddity 4. Note the very Federal situation of the River Towers. To the North, we have the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Not actually Federal, except in name -- it is a private corporation that holds the monetary imagination of the U.S.A. To the East-Northeast is the largest post office in the Twin Cities. Feds and spooks are all over this area (not counting hapless government employees who are just trying to do their job of course.)
Oddity 5. There just happens to be a small Internet company called @Webs911 (http://webs911.com/) located in a nearby tower. What could be the meaning of Google pointing out this pathetic, privately held entrepreneurship with locations in both Atlanta, Georgia and an otherwise random condominium in Minneapolis?
This seemingly innocuous city corner is filled with the patterns and signatures of 9/11. What gives? Was New York not the only place where the potential for an attack was considered? A mile away, to the East (other side of town) was the 35W bridge collapse, where there is now a cheesy monument to the apparent 13 who died with the destruction of the bridge (this event was used to justify the expansion of the highway that was already taking place anyway. Hmm).
Before the 35W collapse, the nearby Guthrie playhouse theater (where the monument now sits) finished their new building with a sculpture/extension on the second and third floors, which is called "the endless bridge" and is a suspended platform overlooking the river. It seems my hometown has this 9/11-ish hoaxy virus in its government and business practices. Eerie.

Funny roof on the building beside your monolith! Maybe it is the airport?

President Obama spent part of his Christmas visiting with troops who are stationed at a Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. At one point he posed for a photo with 8-month-old Cooper Wall Wagner and his parents, Capt. Greg Wagner and Meredith Wagner. While Obama and his parents were all smiles, cute little Cooper casually reached up and jammed his chubby little hand into the President's mouth. Obama's reaction was pretty cute too, and he used the opportunity to make a joke at his own expense, saying Cooper must have been thinking, "I want some of that big nose."
Obama made a point of focusing on the troops this holiday, as was evident during the Obama's heartwarming Chrismas message. On Christmas Eve, he also made calls to 10 members of the military—while Mrs. Obama spent some time helping NORAD track Santa's progress. As for how they spent their Christmas, the First Family began by opening gifts at around 8 a.m., then they ate breakfast, and sang some carols before going to church. After visiting the Marines, they finished the night out with Christmas dinner at home with some friends.

Hello! It's Sunday, but it's not the end of the weekend for me, woohoo! Two extra free days! And it feels goood! :P It's the last day of the challenge ... I hope you had fun with it, or at least found it a little bit interesting. :) As for my part ... I loved how it pushed me to do more art work. I did serious stamping for the first time, i did dot manicure for the first time and I had tons of fun making up new manis and combinations. So it's a good thing! The only thing I had problem with was the time. I just don't have so much time as I used to for blogging, it sucks. But I love a good reason for thinking up new ideas, so the challenge has been awesome. And challenging with a colour I don't normally wear. At all, let alone for so many combinations. Pink is out of the box for me. Or going inside the box when I'm mostly out of it? Haha xD Anyway ... this was a pink that actually grew on me, but I need a serious break from pink now. :D But i discovered some awesome combos. My favourite mani of the week was the one with Deborah Milano layering, I'll do that one again for sure. And the flakies, of course, but what else is new.
I loved my flakie mani (day 6) so much, I decided I'll built from that. I mattefied it with Essence Matt Top Coat and then I decided I'll do some serious scotch taping. And I went to my favourite accent finger style, diagonal stripes. Of course I failed miserabily at attempt to make them all at the same angle, but I like it anyway. :) The top colour is Catrice Plum Play With Me. I don't recommend it for this kind of work, it needs two coats to be opaque enough and the coats need to be really thick, which can result, as you can see on my ring finger, in bubbling. Still, hell, I like it!
Mattefied flakies. I don't normally like it, but I wanted them to really pop out on this rather bright base colour, and matte TC makes them more yellow. :)
What do you think about this combination? Which of the manicures of this challenge did you like the most?
Thank you for reading & don't forget to check the others too. Ladies, it's been fun! :)

|Just another Perl shrine
When do we change our replies?by stevieb (Canon)

I'm curious to know when we should or shouldn't be abrupt to newbs regarding responses to their coding issues. This is a very theoretical question. I'm not claiming right or wrong, I'm just interested to know when past Perl code should be looked at as obsolete in our responses. For instance... suppose someone says:
I'm trying to iterate through an array, and I'm doing the following.
We could bitch that we don't do "C for loops" and respond like this:
But what if they wanted the iteration number? We could throw out (what I just learnt yesterday a trick that was back-ported from Perl6 into 5.12 (each for arrays))
...but where does it end? Do we have a common guide to follow when responding to questions here on PM?
ps. This question goes much deeper than coding questions, but you know that. Is there consistency is my inquiry...
